*cardiac notch
know the diaphragm
what is the name of the device that you blow into, which measures how fast and how much air you breathe out?
what is normal breathing rate?
spirometer
16 - 20 breaths per minute
glottis
what is tidal volume?
what is inspiratory reserve?
what is expiratory reserve?
what is vital capacity?
alveoli, all that…
look at the structure of the esophagus and trachea
*know annular ligament for exam
:)
know that pneumocyte type 1 is all squamous cells in lungs, pneumocyte type 2 cells produce surfactant
what are the 3 layers of the blood air barrier?
what is the thickness of these 3 layers combined?

*0.5 um?
go through…
3 right lobes
- Separated by horizontal and oblique fissures
2 left lobes
- Separated by oblique fissure
Cardiac notch - depression between left lung and heart, no notch on right side.
Hilum - where pulmonary vessels, nerves, and lymphatics enter lung
Root of the lung -
go through these…
Respiratory rate - number of breaths per minute
Tidal volume (on test) - amount of air moved per breath
Respiratory minute volume - amount of air moved per minute (respiratory rate x tidal volume)
Anatomic dead space - only some of the inhaled air reaches alveolar exchange surfaces, volume of air remaining is dead space.
Alveolar ventilation - amount of air reaching alveoli each minute
Respiratory rate x (tidal volume - anatomic dead space)
Know vital capacity (on test)
what is Boyle’s law?
